Book 2 in the Joey Finch Urban Fantasy series by Peter J. Woods
A dead ambassador. The threat of war. And a psychotic wizard with a grudge.
When a member of Sydney's mystical River Men comes begging for protection, Joey Finch has little choice but to agree lest the man be slayed on his doorstep. Only problem is, the guy had just murdered the Selkie ambassador, and they want vengeance.
Now, to avert a war between the sea faring selkies and the River Men, Joey must delve into the Old World to untangle the series of events that led to this point. As he follows the breadcrumbs, Joey confronts ancient gods, vampires who don't play by the rules and a mysterious black-clad wizard who has no reservations about destroying public property or killing wizard apprentices.
Joey and his friends will have to pull out every stop if they want to prevent blood from filling Sydney's streets. And they'll have to watch their backs if they want to stay alive.
The River Men is the second book in the Joey Finch urban fantasy series by Peter J. Woods. If you like the works of Jim Butcher or Ben Aaronovitch, this fast-paced, nail-biting adventure may be for you!
